The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's recent four-day visit to Australia sparked questions about its true purpose. Described as a 'faux royal' or 'quasi-royal' tour, it combined charitable endeavours with commercial engagements, as they are no longer working royals. Meghan headlined a wellness retreat with tickets up to $3,199, while Harry spoke at a summit costing up to $2,378.65.
